General physics
Shear strain
Physics; General physics
The ratio of the relative displacements of one plane to its distance from the fixed plane.
Shear stress
Physics; General physics
The restoring force developed per unit area when deforming force acts tangentially to the surface of body producing change in the shape of the body without any change in volume.
Siemens
Physics; General physics
The derived S.I. unit of electrical conductance, equal to the conductance of an element that has a resistance of 1 ohm, also written as ohm-1.
Simple harmonic motion
Physics; General physics
The vibratory motion that occurs when the restoring force is proportional to the displacement from mean position and is directed opposite to the displacement.
Solenoid
Physics; General physics
A cylindrical coil of wire that becomes electromagnetic when a current flows through it
Sonic boom
Physics; General physics
